What do you eat for breakfast and when do you eat it?

[SSSandy2]

Well that's it really. I know you are supposed to eat breakfast but I can't face food much before 10, just drink loads of coffee.

So who does eat breakfast?

What's the secret to waking up hungry? I think I might eat too much later at night.

My dh is always starving first thing...I really have to force down whatever I'm eating (Skippy peanut butter on toast and/or porridge, for the record)

always have breakfast, muesli plus satsuma and a cup of herbal tea.
Usually btw 6.30am - 8am, depending on when dcs wake up.
tbh it's often my most healthy meal of the day, it all goes down hill from coffee time onwards

I'm nearly 40 and have only just come around to having and enjoying breakfast; it's been an epiphany for me! I don't have anything exciting: museli and bio yoghurt but I really enjoy it and wish I'd done it years ago

6.30/6.45 - cup of tea

7.00 - cereal

9.15 - cup of tea

But this morning I didn't have time to eat until 9.15 - I was starving by then and feeling rather weak and dizzy.

Weekends vary.

I didn't start eating breakfast until I was 35!

I do every day without fail, I couldnt go without it.
On a weekday its normally porridge or cereal
On a weekend I have dippy eggs and soldiers yumm

Fruit salad with muller light. Usually around 9.30 after school drop off.

Sometimes, but not very often it will be Oatsosimple.

I have a boiled egg some days if I have time to make it, though as I try not to have bread it's hard to eat a boiled egg (I love toast with it!)

Mossy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 weetabix in milk with sugar and I HAVE to have it within seconds of waking up. But then I'm pregnant.

toast or baguette or cereal, hot chocolate or juice, yoghurt or fruit

I am hungry when I wake but since I became a mother have learned to put it off for up to half an hour if necessary

If I wake after 4am I have to have a bowl of cereal before I can fall back asleep and I am NOT pregnant.

A mug of Earl Grey and either porridge with chopped dates and walnuts or toast and marmalade.

I have to eat within 15 mins of getting up or feel as if I'm going to pass out.

eurgh, I feel sick if I drink water first thing, has to be tea for me

then a bowl of whatever the kids are having - Shreddies, Cornflakes etc with skimmed milk

7am tea and maybe a yoghurt
go to work
9am more tea and some muesli with semi skimmed milk at work
on days not at work have tea at 7am (no yoghurt) and porridge with the kids around 8
coffee after school run with slice of wholemeal toast if still hungry
have always loved my breakfast(s)

I'm impressed with all this healthy eating! Can't imagine tackling porridge with chopped dates and so on or ghosty's toast with peanut butter but I see I should really get into the swing of it.

Maybe the trick to waking up hungry is training your body. I suppose if you always have something to eat in the morning around the same time, you get used to it and start to feel hungry around that time too.

All those breakfast eaters, when is your evening meal?

I honestly don't feel hungry before 10.30 or 11. I suspect this could have something to do with all the coffee I drink all morning too though... Hmm time for some healthy living here I think

I don't feel hungry first thing... just have a cup or three of tea while getting DD off to school. I work from home, so brekkie is usually when I get back from school run - sometimes later. At the moment its a chopped peach with Dorset Cereals muesli on top and homemade yogurt fresh and slightly warm out of the machine, before I strain the rest.

Peaches are getting rubbish now so will have to switch to pears or something like that.

I'm impressed by some of these.

I'm a total hypocrite as I insist upon the DDs having a good start - porridge, boiled eggs, fresh squeezed juice etc whilst I drink a can of coke (my variation on a caffeine fix) when I get to work.

I put it down to a great many years when I started work at 6am, and we didn't stop for breakfast until 9.30. I'm just not hungry until I've been up a good few hours.

Evening meal any time between 6.30pm and 8.30pm depending on whether I eat with the kids or with DH.

Always hungry when I wake. Always have been as far back as I can remember.

I'm not sure it is due to training your body. DS wakes ravenous. DD only wants a drink. She would prefer to breakfast about 2 hours after waking ie when school starts.

Breakfast is the best meal of the day for me.
There must surely be some sense in the saying "breakfast like a king, lunch like a lord and dine like a pauper". I just fall down when it comes to the evening dining i.e.too much too late

i eat breaskfast as soon i get up as im always starvin!! ....but Dp and my 3 yrs old DD cant as it be about an hour or so before they can eat..

usually starving first thing. have hot water with lemon then either toast and egg or bran, raisins and banana or egg white omlette with tomatoes. Eat within 30 mins of getting up so anything from 6am onwards. Boys have toast, boiled egg, yoghurt and fruit at same time. But then we have at least 3 hours to kill before school on account of their early rising.

just read all the posts have dinner between 6.30 and 7.30 depending on when dh gets home. boys eat at 5pm unless after school activities, if dh going out, I'll eat with them. Love breakfast, lunch favourite meal of the day and dinner functional unless going out. Dh foodie though so make an effort.

I think if you are not hungry when you wake up then you have had too much food too late the night before

try eating about 6 pm and only snacking on fruit in the evening, and then see if you "can't face food much before 10"

I am a breakfast good two shoes and have oats, raisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, soya milk and usually about 3 or 4 pieces of fresh fruit (apple, pear, grapes, melon, whatever has come in the box scheme that week)

I have as soon as I have read ds a story and had a shower. Usually about 8 am. I am usually starving

Love breakfast - have it around 6.20 am - either pint of water followed by muslei or wholemeal toast and a vvv. strong coffee. Sit and eat it in peace for 15 mins with no DS or DH - pure me time!!! - For me its worth forgoing an extra 1/2 hr in bed (but then I've always been an earlybird!!)

I struggle to eat a bowl of bran flakes at about 6am. I'd happily go without breakfast, but am Weightwatching, and it really does keep me going until 1pm when I can finally have lunch.
